// What will I be doing

The work.

Honest answer: it's set construction. Painting, building, prepping, striking, studio assist. Not glamorous, not coffee runs. The work that makes the work possible.

// What counts

Five categories. All count.

SET BUILD

Walls. Doors. Flats.

Frame and skin from drawings. 2x4s, MDF, screws, the chop saw. If you've never picked one up, we'll show you.

PAINT

Coats. Aging. Finishes.

Roller and brush, sometimes spray. Base coats, scenic finishes, distressing. Detail-orientation rewarded.

PREP

Inventory. Tag. Stage.

Photographing pieces, tagging them into the catalog, prepping the day's set list. Methodical work.

STRIKE

Tear-down. Sort. Store.

When a production wraps, we pull it apart and route everything — to catalog, to the recycling stream, or to a future build.

STUDIO ASSIST

Production support.

During shoots: PA-style runs, equipment shuffling, set holds, working alongside the on-set team. Eyes open.

SKILLED TRADES

1.5× rate.

Carpentry beyond framing. Electrical. Welding. Scenic-grade paint. Bring proof, earn faster.

// A typical shift

Tuesday. 8am to 4pm.

12:00 Lunch — bring your own or grab from the kitchen.
12:30 Continue build, base-coat the new walls, queue for tomorrow's paint pass.
15:30 Tools down, sweep, tag the build, debrief with the supervisor.
16:00 Sign the shift sheet. +8 hours in your ledger by 5pm.
